“…For example, Vlontzos et al (2014) applied DEA approach to evaluate the energy and environmental efficiency of the primary sectors of the EU member state countries, the results show that the countries with strong environmental protection standards appear to be less energy and environmentally efficient. Zha et al (2015) used the improved DEA model to evaluate the operational efficiency of banks in China during [2008][2009][2010][2011][2012], and found that the banks in China showed both technical and scale inefficiency.…”

The paper utilizes the data envelopment analysis (DEA) method based on the OECD policy classification to evaluate the performance of the agricultural support policy at the provincial and agricultural commodity levels from the respective viewpoints of agricultural input and output. The analysis at the provincial level mainly focuses on the similarities and differences in the performance of the agricultural support policies between the primary grain-producing areas and the secondary grain-producing areas; at the agricultural commodity level, 17 representative Chinese agricultural commodities are selected and their performance compared. The results are then used to proffer suggestions for the future agricultural support policy optimization in China. The paper found that 50% of the provinces were DEA-efficient, in general, during the study period due to the low overall province-level scale efficiency. The performance values of the secondary grain-producing areas were significantly lower than those of the primary grain-producing areas due to the overall low scale and technical efficiency values. These results show that the support policies for agricultural commodities in China altogether require a further improvement, mainly due to the low technical efficiency of agricultural commodities.

“…In addition, Lu [21] adopted the osculating value method (a multi-objective decision optimization method) to construct a comprehensive model of rural sustainable development in China, quantified the model indicators, and conducted comprehensive comparison of the sustainable development level of rural areas in China. Vlontzos [22] adopted the non-radial data envelopment analysis (DEA) model to estimate the agricultural energy and environmental efficiency of EU member States.…”

Aiming at the sustainable development issue of agriculture, the regional agricultural sustainable development system is regarded as a complex giant dissipative system in this paper by using the theory of dissipative structure. In order to effectively measure the coordinated development status and orderly evolution trend of the system, the more comprehensive and scientific index system was constructed from the framework of economy, society, technology, resource and environment (ESTRE). The measurement model of the system was constructed by using the method of information entropy, and an empirical analysis of Sichuan province from 2005 to 2015 was conducted. The results show that with the advancement of the years, the agricultural sustainable development system in Sichuan province is evolving in a more orderly and coordinated direction. The measurement results are in agreement with the actual situation and verify the effectiveness of the system measurement model in the regional agricultural sustainable development measure.
